The installation Lucid Phantom Messenger presents a setting that reminds of a scientific laboratory in which the cold cobalt lighting and clean perspex surfaces distance us from what we’d love to submerge in. The work departs from the expressionism of action painting, in which materials are liberated from a servile function towards representation and become transformed into abstract gestures and shapes of sculptural painting. The tension between technical and organic elements, between the known and the unknown, between systematic analysis and free associations that grow in our brains as if imitating the process we see before us – all these juxtapositions are combined here to form a most unique experience.
